Ma Peiqu signaled to bring Li Bing back and asked, "Do you know where Xu Tao lives?"
Li Bing “I don’t know.”
Ma Peiqu's face darkened and he said, "Are you kidding me?"
"No, no, that's what happened... At the beginning of the month, a theft occurred at the Shunfa Hotel on Zhongshan Street. The victim lived on the third floor. At that time, my colleagues were in the room asking about the case. I was smoking in the corridor outside, and then I saw Xu Tao walking away.
Go to a breakfast shop..."
"Is it morning?"
"Yes. About seven o'clock."
"What's the name of the breakfast shop?"
"Lao Lutou's porridge shop has the word "porridge" written on the wall, which can be seen at a glance."
"Has Xu Tao seen you?"
"No. Leader Ma, that's what I thought. Xu Tao might still appear there..."
Ma Peiqu knew that what Li Bing said made sense. Normally, the place a person chooses to have breakfast would not be too far from home. In other words, Xu Tao most likely lives near Zhongshan Street!
"Li Bing, are you telling me a story?"
"Give me the courage, I don't dare to lie to you..."
"This Xu Tao is probably an important figure in the Communist Party. If you catch him, you will be very successful!"
"Whatever you want me to do, I will try my best to cooperate!"
"What I want you to do is very simple. When Xu Tao appears again, just identify him!"
"no problem!"
Ma Peiqu thought for a moment and said to Daping, "Go to Shunfa Hotel to get a room. Ask for a room on the third floor. Remember, don't reveal your identity!"
"Yes!" Daping turned around and walked out.
Ma Peiqu glanced at his watch and said to Li Bing, "Follow me!"
Li Bing "Where to go?"
"Stay in the intelligence team for now, and I'll take you to Shunfa Hotel later!"
A group of people came out of the interrogation and walked towards the intelligence team on the second floor. Jiang Xinyu walked over with a document bag in his hand.
"Captain Jiang." Ma Peiqu stopped and greeted respectfully.
Jiang Xinyu glanced at Li Bing and said to Ma Peiqu, "Major Hattori just called and asked you to go to the gendarmerie in the afternoon and explain in person what happened in Rouge Alley."
"yes!"
"Also, calculate the advance expenses of the intelligence team for next month so that I can report to the superiors."
"knew."
Jiang Xinyu nodded and walked over without asking any questions. Without the need for introduction, Li Bing knew from this posture that this was the captain of the detective team.
Near noon, a car took Li Bing to Shunfa Hotel. According to Ma Peiqu's order, people from the intelligence team were monitoring near Lao Lutou Porridge Shop.
The flat room is Room 8. In order to be sure, Ma Peiqu specially prepared a monocular telescope. In fact, it is only separated by a road, so he can clearly see the people passing by with his naked eyes.
Daping and another agent are accompanying Li Bing in the room. As soon as they find a target appearing, they will immediately arrest them!
During this period, Li Bing could not take even one step into the room, and even meals had to be brought in by someone. Naturally, he was worried about being accidentally bumped into by Xu Tao.
evening.
When Hattori Hikoo returned home, Xiaolan came out to welcome him, bowed and said, "You are back."
"Where's the lady?" Hattori Hikoo took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack.
"I just went out with Captain Jiang and said we were going to Guohua to watch a movie. The lady said that she might be back late today, so let me tell you."
"Um...I know."
…………
At the entrance of Guohua Cinema, a huge poster is conspicuously displayed. "Iron Blood and Wisdom" will be released today, starring Li Shulan, directed by Eizo Yamauchi, and produced by Manchu Pictures Co., Ltd.
After Jiang Xinyu bought the movie tickets, he came over and said, "The time is just right, the show starts in ten minutes."
Hattori Mina frowned and said, "I have watched this movie..."
"seen it already?"
"Well, when I was studying in Shenyang."
"Then what should I do? All the tickets are bought."
"...It doesn't matter, it's good to watch it again. Besides, haven't you seen it yet? I can explain the plot to you!"
"Don't! It won't be interesting if you know the plot..."
"No, I have to tell you!"
"If you tell me, I'll shut your mouth!"
"you dare!"
"Why don't I dare..."
The two chatted and laughed, holding hands and walking into the cinema.
This is a movie that beautifies Manchukuo. In fact, political factors aside, the storyline is actually pretty good. Jiang Xinyu's mind was not on the movie at all. He was rethinking his plan in his mind.
"Xinyu, look, look, Li Shulan is out!" Hattori Mina said excitedly.
Jiang Xinyu said with emotion, "She looked so young at that time."
"You're not old now!"
"...Why are your hands so cold?"
"It's too cold outside and it hasn't recovered yet..."
"Put it into my sleeve."
"Very cold?"
"It's okay, it'll be fine in a moment."
Hattori Mina leaned on Jiang Xinyu's shoulder and murmured, "Xinyu, you are so good to me."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said, "I'm doing you a favor by letting you warm your hands?... Hey, it's really cold!"
"When I first came to Manchuria, my brother came to see me at school. It was snowing heavily that day and the weather was very cold. I put my hand into my brother's sleeve. My brother said that in the future, the person who will help me keep warm in the same way must be
Sincerely treat me well..."
Jiang Xinyu sighed in his heart. His thoughtfulness and concern for Mei Ne did not contain any false elements. They were completely natural and true expressions!
Everything is wonderful now, but what should I do in the future? Whether it is Chongqing or Yan'an, the reason why I agreed to date Mina is to hide, not to let him pretend to be real!
After the movie ended, the two returned home. Jiang Xinyu said, "Mina, are you hungry?"
Hattori Mina hung her coat on the coat rack and said, "Well, a little bit."
"The weather is so cold, how about we eat hotpot mutton?"
"Are you still going out?"
"No, it's just a phone call..." Jiang Xinyu picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers, "Hey, Dong Laishun? Send me a pot, yes... I want both. The address is No. 19 Qiaodong Road.
Thanks."
Half an hour later, the hot pot was delivered. Jiang Xinyu burned the charcoal and put it into the hot pot. After a while, the aroma of the soup filled the whole room.
Jiang Xinyu took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, pulled out the cork with a bottle opener, poured out a little, tasted it, and praised, "Good wine!"
Hattori Mina immediately stood up, took two cups, put them on the dining table, and said, "I want to drink some too!"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of getting drunk?"
Hattori Mina made a face and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, you can take me home when I'm drunk!"
Jiang Xinyu pretended to be helpless and sighed, "Okay, I hope I can hold you!"
Hattori Mina coquettishly said, "I hate it, you are trying to call me fat in a different way..."
